Is there a way to tell the iOS simulator which audio device connected to your computer you want it to use?

The simulator seems to pick whatever audio device is last connected to your machine. I've got a USB audio device (fasttrack pro) I use for my main sound playback and then a USB headset I use for my skype calls. More often than not, the simulator's audio is played on the headset instead of my main speakers.

Ok, I found that both the input and output device much match in system sound settings. Often I have them set to different devices. If they don't match, the simulator seems to default to the last connected audio device selected among the input and output devices.

On a related note: if you're like me and don't like interface sounds and therefore uncheck the preference "Play user interface sound effects" (Sound > Sound Effects), you'll need to check it to get sound out of the simulator.
